Interesting New York Speaker Update: Grant McCracken

Tags: Aspergers Syndrome, Grant McCracken, Interesting New York

Grant McCracken - Cultural Anthropolist

Grant McCracken is an Interesting alum, having previously spoken at Interesting London. I’m excited to see him because, as an avid reader of his blogs and books, I know he’s going to bring a unique perspective on whatever he speaks about. His topic for Interesting New York? Let’s let Grant explain:

“My wife says I have it. I feel quite strongly you have it. So that makes everyone. We all have Asperger’s Syndrome. Right?”

See what I mean? Didn’t see that coming, did you? You should definitely check out his blog by the way, he’s working on a very cool tool that allows you to search his blog posts related to brands.

bio

Hi, I'm Rick Liebling, the Creative Culturalist at Y&R New York. I use this blog to share my thoughts on branding, marketing, advertising, PR, social media and how they all create, react to and reflect our culture. Click on over to the "Speaking / Events / Writing" page to see a listing of content I've contributed to other sites and events where I've spoken.

Don't have a Creative Culturalist at your agency/company?

This is normally where you might find one of those disclaimers that says the content of this blog is solely my own, and does not represent the thoughts or opinions of my employer or client. But aren't my thoughts the very reason my current employer chose to hire me? Don't they in fact want me to express my thoughts? And does any reasonable person believe that when I'm discussing ABC's Fall lineup or the cultural relevance of Bioshock that I am, in fact, speaking on behalf of one of my clients? So yeah, I'll go ahead and own this.
